Chapter 1
+++++
This is as factual an account as an auto-biography can be. My name is Sasha Leigh Sasaoka and I was born on October the fifth. I've lived in many places and had many names but Sasha was my birth name.
This story begins when I was fourteen, truthfully the events that led up to this story began as early as when I was four, but most of those events were minor and of no major importance. At fourteen I began high school, that was one of the main turning points for my life. My freshman year was full of many changes, I now had to travel for almost two hours to get to school, I had friends who lived, sometimes, twenty miles away from me instead of just down the street. We were the first freshman to attend that school ever, and added to that pressure the further stress of parental expectations, it's no wonder some of us retreated and escaped from life. I myself began to noticebly suffer from depression, I had earlier been diagnosed as a manic-depressive but had always been able to hide it from the world.
My high school friends and I decided as part of a healthy way to escape we would create our own nicknames and conduct ourselves in a manner that would amuse us with no regard to anyone elses opinions. We started to hang out and do silly things whenever we could. Our group usually consisted of: Lemanie; Aphrodite; Cerberus; Hades; Phobos; Gaea; Loki; Magenta; Magi; Frydgia; and myself, Aramina. Many others came and went but these were the core members, and while Lemanie and I were by no means the eldest, smartest or craziest, we were elected the leaders.
By my sophomore year we were an unofficial school club, the school counselors found us 'highly amusing and entertaining'. We had gone through many changes and not just in members. We had had a revolt where Magi decided he didn't like the way Lemanie and I ran things. He believed he could do better and decided to go off and start his own version that would rival us, the majority of our members followed him, but soon returned saying he was nowhere near as fun as we were. Not two months later Magi returned and agreed to our rules.
As a side venture Gaea; Magenta; Frydgia; Hestia, Gaea's younger sister; and I began our own coven. We soon discovered, despite our laid- back attitudes and jests about magick really working, that there was a natural, untapped, and strong power among us. The first instance that made us realize this was during one of our meditation sessions. One of us commented on how much easier the meditation would go if we had less light. We ceased meditating when we heard some screams and shouts from all over the quad. Looking around it took a few moments for us to realize that the entire school had lost power. At first we joked, 'go us' and 'we're good' were the prevelant comments, but as we thought about it it was more logical to say that there had been something wrong with the school. There were too many explanations for us to attribute it to our own abilities.
Some other minor incidents occurred whenever we meditated together. Things that could not be written up to chance or coincidence. After the fifth incident we decided to conduct an experiment. Over the next month or so each of us would try an 'immediate results' spell, with the other four sending well wishes and hopes for sucess. Gaea went first, she tried a spell to revive some dying plants she had. For nearly four months she had been doing everything she could, even calling a plant nursery for advise, nothing helped. Unfortunately the spell didn't either.
As soon as we knew the results Frydgia tried a glamour, this too was unsucessful. Magenta tried a spell of notice. Which, unlike a love or like spell, only required the object of your attention to acknowledge your presence. It failed. Hestia took her turn trying a study spell to help her retain the information she studied. She had no luck with it. Now it was my turn, but I had a problem the others hadn't. I didn't know what kind of spell to cast.
I could think of nothing I wanted to do, or achieve that I couldn't work on physically just as easily. It wasn't until the Friday of the week I was supposed to try my spell that I knew. Since Tuesday one of my classmates, Jose, had been harrassing me. He had asked me out, but as I didn't want to date anyone at the time I kindly refused him saying that I wasn't ready to date anyone yet. He then proceeded to spread rumors about the school that I 'was a slut and had screwed him silly.' But when around me he would take to insulting me, calling me a bitch and a whore. My friends stood by me knowing the truth and doing their best to counter any rumors.
I was so frustrated by Friday that I only told the other girls that I knew what spell I wanted to cast. When I got home I cast a candle spell, to 'teach him to respect girls, especially me'. My anger having subsided by the next morning I thought nothing of the spell until Monday morning. One of Jose's closest friends, Jerry, approached us and told us that Jose wouldn't be in school for the next week or two but he wanted to send his apologies for being a jerk to me. Gaea asked why he wouldn't be in school, and Jerry said that Jose and his family had been in a car accident and that, surprisingly, the only injury was Jose. Jerry said he had seen Jose in the hospital and that the doctors said he would be up and about in a few days but it would be best for his family to let him take it easy for about a week and a half.
I was internally horrified, outwardly like my friends I expressed my regrets that his family had been in the accident. I couldn't and wouldn't believe that his injuries were my doing. It would mean not only that I was the power behind our coven, but that I had been cruel and vindictive, allowing dark and evil thoughts to take over my judgement, and for the better part of my life I believed in pacifism. When my fellow coven members asked what spell I cast I told them I tried a peace spell for a quiet household and that it didn't work. I hated lying to my friends but I couldn't bring myself to tell them the truth.
After that I worked in secret, I hid my powers from everyone: my friends because if they knew they would know I lied to them, and my family because they were die-hard Christians. I worked at night or when my family was out of town for one reason or another. Shortly after my sixteenth birthday I found that I could travel on the astral plane. At first I went to places I knew, California, Hawaii, Utah. Then I projected myself further, I tried places I could get a good mental image of, Spain, France, England. Then I tried something that began the greatest of changes for me.
Once I was truly comfortable with astral travel I tried places I could visualize but that weren't 'real'. One day I 'leapt' hoping to land somewhere friendly and ended up on the isle of Avalon. I had landed on the home of the Fae and the greatest source of all magick. I was thoroughly shocked, yet immensely pleased. On that first trip I met Puck, he seemed surprised that I, a mere mortal, had found Avalon without a guide. He became my first friend from another realm, and my closest confidant.
I made several trips to Avalon after that, during each one I learned something new. I learned how to best use my abilities, and started visiting other worlds as well. In each one I altered my appearance slightly and tried to use a different name. I don't know why other than the fact that I wanted to be some one else for a while. I began with worlds I had longed to be a part of since my youth, such as the world of the X-men, soon after I started visiting other worlds just as easily as I walked down the street. I met the DragonBall senshi, the Sailor Senshi, the Gundam Pilots, the Slayers team, the Reikai Tantei, and the seishi of the four gods to name a few. My friends only knew of these trips as being in my imagination and part of my personal Role Plays.
During one of my visits to Avalon something happened that I would mark as the 'point of no return'. I was once again on the isle and playing games with Puck, Raven and Coyote, who had all become my friends. Our games and frolicking continued until we crossed paths with Oberon. My three companions, seeing their Lord and Master in a foul mood were torn between hiding me and hiding themselves behind me.
Oberon glared darkly, first at me then at my friends, "Why is this 'mortal' in my kingdom??" He nearly bellowed, which brought many other Fae to see what angered him so.
My own temper was short that day so I responded like an average teenaged girl, "What's it to you? You pompous, self-centered, overweening, sanctimonious freak!!!"
As unwise as those words were I couldn't stop them. The events that followed my words can only be described as chaos. Oberon launched an attack at me, and I defended myself. Puck and the others who knew me tried to keep anyone else from interfering with the battle.
When the smoke cleared and the furor started to die down Puck asked an obvious question. "Where's Lord Oberon?"
I could only smile as I held up a crystal orb, that was just bigger than my fist, inside was a minature Oberon mutely shouting and uselessly attacking the orb walls. Shock rippled through those who had assembled, followed by some spatters of laughter.
Titania, The Lady of Avalon and Oberon's wife, calmly walked to me and bowed, smiling, "Congratulations Your Majesty Sasha, Queen of Avalon." At her words the others kneeled or bowed before me.
I was floored, //What did she say??\\ It took the next four months of Avalon time to adjust to my new title and rank. I knew that some of the fae would follow me back to my world but since no one else saw or felt their presence I tried to ignore it as best I could.
Time passed, there were only three memorable events in the ensuing months. The first was the death of my grandmother mere days before my seventeenth birthday. I was told her last words included 'Thank Sasha for being such a wonderful girl.' The second happened in the following spring, two of the adult advisors from my community service group passed away as well.
The third event hit me the hardest, my best friend since seventh grade, Lemanie, had cancer. This I found out over the summer. I knew I was trying to do too much as it was but to add a new and bigger worry was almost too much. I was working a full-time, minimum wage job, and doing part-time community service which required a lot of travel in and out of state.
My family didn't help any, they tried to convince me that if my community service didn't put money in my pocket I should quit it and spend even more time at work. I had already put in two years to that group and made many friends I wasn't about to sacrifice my small happiness for pocket change.
During this stressful time I had the first of my other-world children. It may sound strange or even incredible, but I physically remained a virgin while my astral form gave birth to twins. I named them Raina and Gavin. Their father had seduced me using his own powers. His reasoning for his actions, as he tactlessly stated, 'Any offspring she has will be powerful.' and being that he himself was power hungry...well the rest is history. We hadn't been friends so there was no love lost between us for that incident.
Time continued to pass, and with it's passing came time for graduation. I was thrilled, I would finally not have to go to school. It was like most other graduations, with the major difference of the fact that our class had fourteen Valedictorians and more than half the class graduating with some kind of honor. I myself was graduating with community service honors, Thespian honors, and placemant in the top ten percent of the class. My friends and I celebrated afterwards with a costumed water fight.
Less than one month after graduation I was preparing for the state conference of my service group when I recieved the news that almost destroyed me. I, as our assembly recorder, was finishing writing the minutes up from the last meeting when the phone rang. I was the only one home so I answered, it was Magi, he told me that Lemanie had passed away in the night. He asked me if I could call some of our friends since he didn't have their numbers, I agreed and began calling. I held myself together until I made my last call. I called my new service advisor to say that I didn't think I'd make it to the meeting that night but that if I did I wouldn't be in condition to perform my duties.
She replied "It's too late for you to not come, so you'll just have to suck it up and do your job." This was after I told her my best friend had just died. I made it to the meeting and choked my way through my duties, at the end I ran to the bathroom and was so upset I became physically ill.
My family was no better than my advisor. My mother agreed to drive a couple of us to the memorial service for Lemanie. As we were leaving, before I could shed a single tear, my mother told me "It's sad that she died so young but you need to get over it and on with your life." It hurt me that my own mother would not let me mourn my best friend. To this day I still haven't properly cried over her loss. Not seven months later something happened that would turn me against my family forever.
Early one morning there was a shooting at my mom's job, at first I was afraid she had been at work at the time, I found out later she wasn't. Several of her co-workers were killed in the shooting, and suddenly she was so grief-stricken that the rest of the family was expected to drop everything and wait on her hand and foot until she was done mourning them. I was floored. She could drop her life and demand that we do the same for some people she wasn't even really friends with, but I wasn't allowed to shed one tear for someone who had been closer to me than my own family?
It was the final blow, after years of being told I was useless and stupid. After constant insults, whether subtle or direct, and much mental and emotional abuse I decided I had had enough. I decided to leave my life and find a new one..one that would in no way involve my 'family'.
